Hi everyone I got to see a up train up close it was at the. Morgan Ave crossing here in milwaukee it was at the pletz plant it was dropping off a cut of cars and the engineer even waved at me for waiting for him to cross back over. The loco number was 639 and it was a GP38-2 which was very cool for me cause I rarely ever get to see a train there and. They still use a flag man to stop traffic. [tup][tup]
